Quote: Anyone can show at any show. I can see where Stockton might have been intimidating because of all the national meets and the huge entry. This will be a small show, so a good place to get your feet wet. It also has the advantage that you can coop in Sat. morning and the birds will be released the same day. We'll be spending the night so we can coop in on Friday, but only because I obsessively bring so many birds.
Come join in the fun!

Hello for up North.
This was answered already but I was trying out the "multi". I think they are having a 4-H show on Sunday at Shasta College.
Hi and welcome, there are alot of chicken people in your area!
I'm really looking forward to seeing your birds Deb.Anyone can show at any show. I can see where Stockton might have been intimidating because of all the national meets and the huge entry.

At the few small shows I've been to the judges have always been open to discussing your breed with you, pointing out what they look for when placing the birds, things to improve, etc. I don't know this judge but most are willing to share their knowledge.Do you know if it's the type of show, like Stockton, for pros only? Or can a novice, like me, who just wants to have some experience and has not quite top show quality birds, enter?
That made the job much easier.
Welcom ERBryson! It's a great thread, full of information and encouragement! There are lots of people around you.
Spell as you go does not work on any of my computers with firefox. If I right click on the mis spelled word, it wants to copy and paste. Regular spell check works. Spell as you go works with IE.
Oh, you're talking about the spell check in reply...yes, it does bring up the paste option. You have to use the spell check in the reply box. I just thought that was the forum, it's the browser? I love FireFox and never use IE anymore but may be worth it to bring it up for BYC.

Thanks Pam! Actually I do have a spare. I've got three boys and I don't really need more than one right now. I thought I knew who was for sale (actually the one above is the one I was selling), but let me take another look at them this week. I had a couple of inquiries left when I sold out the last batch, so I'd need to contact those people first, but otherwise none of the current (I forget, I have 12-18 in right now). And I do ship eggs also.

It is their "First Annual". I think the club had shows years ago in a different location and they are now reestablished and starting in Red Bluff. The judge listed is John Monaco for Open. Entries must be postmarked by the 15th. (Dang, I need to decide who's going and get mine in).
You do? Oh my, how did I miss asking you and you miss my post saying I needed one? OK, soooooo....if those others don't want your spares, I will take one. I can pick him up at the Red Bluff show. So excited that the show is in Red Bluff. So close to me! I'll PM you!

Boy, I'm tempted to bring my Blue Copper Marans and maybe one of my Polish hens. I've never shown before and I'd like to get my grandkids into it so maybe I'll bring them along. Really excited about this.
If I didn't thank you before, Kim, thank you so much for posting the link for this article! This is day 3 on Sulmet and they all look so much better. I thought that the bloody poos were gone yesterday morning but they had another round of them right after I posted. But I haven't found any bloody poos since early yesterday afternoon so I'm assuming the worst is over with. I'm keeping a close eye on everyone else just in case.
That is so true! Monet picks out at least one new breed every time we go to a show! She doesn't always get them but her want list is getting quite long!
